The "Daijingu engi" records show that during Emperor Temmu's time, the divine sword was returned to the palace.
[1] According to traditional sources, Yamato Takeru died in the 43rd year of Emperor Keiko's reign (景行天皇43年, equivalent 113 AD).
[5] The possessions of the dead prince were gathered together along with the sword Kusanagi; and his widow Miyazu-hime venerated his memory in a shrine at her home.
Sometime later, these relics and the sacred sword were moved to the current location of the Atsuta Shrine.
[8] Yamato Takeru and Miyazu-hime and her brother Takeinadane [ja] are worshipped at the shrine.
